CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of European Community Plant VarietyOffice Application No. 2017/1920, for a raspberry variety named ‘Plapink0740,’ filed on Aug. 3, 2017, the entirety of which is incorporated byreference herein.

BACKGROUND

Disclosed herein is a new and distinct raspberry variety. The varietaldenomination of the new variety is ‘Plapink 0740’. The new variety wasdesignated by the breeder as ‘07.09R.40’. The new variety of raspberrywas created in a breeding program by crossing two parents; inparticular, by crossing as seed parent an undistributed raspberry parentdesignated ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) and as pollen parent anundistributed raspberry parent designated ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented).Female and male are selections from breeder's program of Planasa. Bothparental varieties are property and have not been commercialized.

The resulting seedling of the new variety was grown and asexuallypropagated by root cuttings in Segovia, Spain, 3° 59′W., 41° 22′N., 2742feet elevation. Clones of the new variety were further asexuallypropagated and extensively tested. This propagation and testing hasdemonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein whichcharacterize the new variety are fixed and retained true to type throughsuccessive generations of asexual reproduction.

The growing period in Huelva, Spain, where the observations on primocaneproduction were made, is between the end of June and the end of May ofthe following year.

SUMMARY

The present invention relates to a new and distinct raspberry variety.The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Plapink 0740’, thatproduces and maintains a strong vigorous plant with consistent fruitproduction from the middle of October through January on primocanes andin the ensuing year from the middle of April and ending in May.

Among the characteristics which appear to distinguish the new varietyfrom other varieties are a combination of traits which include a sparseto medium spine density and very abundant production of orange to lightred colored (RHS red group color near 42 B to 42 A), conical shaped, andmedium to large fruit size.

COMPARISON TO THE PARENTS

Neither the seed parental cultivar, ‘06.09R84,’ nor the pollen parentcultivar, ‘06.13R.46’, has any patent or application for Plant PatentRights in any country on the world.

Both the seed and pollen parentals were obtained by the Applicant. Theyare selections from breeder's program of the Applicant. They areproperty of the Applicant. The Applicant maintains them in theirnurseries, and both parental cultivars have never been commercialized.

The new variety is distinguished therefrom its parents by the followingcharacteristics possessed by ‘Plapink 0740’ which are different than, ornot possessed by, the seed parent designated ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented)and the pollen parent designated ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented).

Predominant number of leaflets in leaf of seed parent ‘06.09R.84’(unpatented) is five, whereas for ‘Plapink 0740’ is three.

Seed parent ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) and pollen parent ‘06.13R.46’(unpatented) show a broad conical fruit shape compared to the fruitshape of the new variety ‘Plapink 0740,’ which is conical.

In seed parent ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) the plug is small and roundedshaped, whereas the new variety ‘Plapink 0740’ presents a large plug andlengthened shape.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY

The following description is in accordance with UPOV terminology and thecolor terminology herein is in accordance with The Royal HorticulturalSociety Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.), 3rd edition published in 1995.

The color descriptions and other phenotypical descriptions may deviatefrom the stated values and descriptions depending upon variation inenvironmental, seasonal, climatic and cultural conditions.

Throughout this specification, color names beginning with a small lettersignify that the name of that color, as used in common speech is aptlydescriptive. Color names beginning with capital letter designate valuesbased upon The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal HorticulturalSociety, London, England, 1995.

The following detailed description of the new variety is based uponobservations taken of plants and fruits grown “underglass”, i.e., undertunnel, in the farm of La Mogalla in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain, 7° W., 37°N., 45 feet elevation.

PROPAGATION

The new variety is principally propagated by way of root cuttings.Although propagation by root cuttings is presently preferred, other knowmethods of propagating raspberry plants may be used. Raspberries rootand develop well after transplanting.

‘Plapink 0740’ is propagated by root cuttings. It is a primocane varietywith fruit production from middle October through the end of January onprimocanes and in the ensuing year from the middle of April and endingin May. ‘Plapink 0740’ is a self-fertile variety. It produces largequantities of pollen throughout the seasons and pollination is good.

Trials were pursued in in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain, about 7° W, 37° N. 45feet elevation (15 meters high). The plants described are from highelevation nursery in Segovia, Spain, 3° 59′W., 41° 22′N., 2742 feetelevation. Plants were planted on June 25 in the first year and June 28in the second year with a sample size of three repetitions every yearand 120 plants per repetition every year. The growing period in Huelva,Spain, where the observations on primocane production were made, isbetween the end of June and the end of May of the following year.‘Plapink 0740’ is a primocane variety, with consistent fruit productionbeginning in middle October and ending in January on primocanes and inthe ensuing year beginning in middle April and ending in May. Afterplanting as aforesaid, plants are grown in raised beds under tunnel.Water and fertilizer were applied through drip irrigation.
